Hahnemuhle Photo Rag 308 sheets cause Paper Jam every time I try to print.


Problem: I have begun to have a paper jam using Hahnemuhle Photo Rag 308 on my iPF5000. I am printing to 11 x17 paper, and the right side (facing the printer) of the leading edge of the paper gets stopped somehow, buckling the paper. If I don't stop the print job, the print head runs into the paper and stops. It jams with every sheet. It is winter here in upstate NY now, and I am guessing that there might be some moisture differential leading to paper curl.

Resolution: I left the paper box open overnight to see to allow it to equilibrate with the current much drier air. This fixed the problem.

Note: If this is not the issue, you can also try adjusting Head Height and Vacuum Strength.
